Re: Nokian NRW

Got my own answer! FYI for anyone interested: One of the employees of the tire dealer put them on his Mazda Millenia.I talked at length with him about the change from his Michelins to the Nokia NRW.He even let me take the car out for a test drive! :-) Granted I needed to discern betweenhis car's characteristics and mine to evaluate the tire, the NRWs seemed like a great tire.They were very quiet. It wasn't just his car. My Michelins howl on certain types of pavementbut the NRWs remained consistently quiet no matter what the road surface was like. The ride was very good, too.Sharp, sudden impacts were quietly absorbed. No echoing THUMP from the tires. Handling was great too. I brought the carto a cloverleaf of two intersecting highways and kept circling, gradually increasing the cars speed.Doing 60mph on a 30mph bend, the tires began to groan and you could just barely feelthe tail sliding loose. The Michelins break away more abrubtly and squeal long beforethe speeds reached on the Mazda.My Honda's steering is tighter than the Mazda's and the ride is a bit firmer, more biased towards handling. I think the NRWs willbe a perfect compliment to my car. I'm getting them put on Monday. If anyone is interested, I could give more feedback afterthey're on my car and I have a chance to drive them.
